Xavier Legette's Raccoon Tradition and NFL Success

Carolina Panthers wide receiver Xavier Legette recently made headlines after revealing on 'The St. Brown Podcast' that he eats raccoon, even opting for it over traditional turkey for Thanksgiving. Legette, a South Carolina native, described the preparation process and noted that raccoon has a unique taste, distinct from commonly compared chicken. This practice is part of a longstanding Southern culinary tradition. The revelation of his dietary preference left podcast hosts Amon-Ra and Equanimeous St. Brown surprised and intrigued. In addition to raccoon, Legette also consumes other unconventional animals like squirrels and rabbits, which are part of his Southern heritage. Despite the unusual meal choice, Legette continues to excel on the field, leading the Panthers in receiving yards and touchdowns.
